Probably the easiest is to use a different UI.

Both Photon (https://photon.lemmy.world/) and Tesseract (https://t.lemmy.world/) will let you directly edit the mod team from the community settings pages.

I had a “2-3 weeks” ETA about 2 months ago for the initial beta release. Looks like that ship sailed. In the last few days I’m kind of getting back into the swing of development but I’m still behind and can’t devote as much time to it as I’d like.

I think the last thing that’s preventing a beta release is the settings importer is unfinished (had to be re-written). Once that’s done, I can at least get the beta out for use. There’s a few other cosmetic things I need to fix as well but it’s still usable.

I have room in the panel now, that’s not the problem. Was just thinking it would be more economical to run one big circuit from the basement up to the kitchen and do the breakout there versus running 4-6 new individual circuits all that way.

Upgrading to a 200A panel is on the horizon though not right at this moment.

Unfortunately, time and money are factors. Not that I want to cheap out, I just thought maybe a sub panel might be more economical.

They wouldn’t know to check the kitchen has its own sub panel.

I mean, when there’s only a 40 amp breaker labeled “Kitchen S/P” I think they’d figure it out.

The kitchen would be the only room with a subpanel.

As stated in the post, the oven is already on a dedicated 30A circuit, and I’m not going to mess with that. There’s an empty void near the oven, though, and my thought was to run another 30 amp circuit up beside that to feed the subpanel and place it in that “void”. Decorating isn’t a concern for the void as there’s not much that can really go there anyway.

Definitely want to future proof it, yeah. I’m not married to 30 amp delivery to it, just used that as a reference point.

NEC requires 2 different 20 amp circuits for counter top use, 15 amps is not allowed,

That I didn’t know (or rather, haven’t read yet). Current ones are on 15 amp circuits, so I was going by that (not that previous owners seemed too concerned with “code” LOL).

Stove’s already on a dedicated breaker.

This is the US and we only have split-phase (two ‘hot’ legs at 120v on each end of a center-tap transformer)

Tesseract (t.lemmy.world) both badges and lets you filter new accounts. You can configure the number of a days an account is considered “new” from 1 to 30 days. Anything that’s filtered will be shown as a stub/collapsed item in the feed.

In the upcoming release (delayed due to personal issues but in progress), you can completely hide content from new accounts (versus just collapsing it) among other filters.

Additionally, (in the upcoming release) it will automatically hide content from users less than a week old who have deleted their accounts. This feature is a direct response to this “hit it and quit it” nonsense from the accounts you’re describing.

Instance blocking is just blocking all communities on that instance, unfortunately.

Like Blaze said, you can try Piefed (LW also operates a Piefed instance) or you can use an alternate UI for Lemmy that does hide users from blocked instances. Not sure which do except Tesseract (https://t.lemmy.world/) since I wanted to be able to do the same thing.

The setting for that is under Settings -> Filtering -> Hide Users From Blocked Instances

deleted by creator

…yeah. I added a filter in Tesseract to automatically hide “drive-by” posts for accounts that are less than a week old who self-delete themselves. Can’t stand that.

Not that that isn’t good advice to make mods’ lives easier in general, but for the ban evader I think you’re talking about, it’s usually pretty apparent if you look at the profile of the user being reported:

1. Minutes old, 10+ posts and no comments or maybe 1 boilerplate-looking one.
2. Usually cycles through c/Politics, c/News, c/Health, c/UK, c/Ohio, c/Television and a few others
3. Here lately, spams out 10+ posts rapid-fire and then deletes the account (not all UIs indicate a user is deleted, but that info is often helpful).

Granted, I’m really good at pattern matching. It’s like my one neurodivergent superpower lol.

Seems more like a genuine feature to me.

I don’t know how many requests I’ve seen for Lemmy apps to be able to swipe between posts in the feed.

Seems that’s basically what they’re doing here.

But also, gesture navigation is terrible, I hate it, and always turn on 3-button navigation when I get a new phone anyway.

I shouldn’t say this, but whatever: It’s a “troll” tactic to do that since mods/admins can’t ban with content removal if the account is deleted (unless that’s fixed in .13?) . Admins can remove the deleted flag in the DB for the user and then do so, but mods can only remove items individually. Not that any of these necessarily warrant removal on their own, but not doing so in this case encourages this kind of “hit it and quit it” behavior, and this user is clearly ban evading.

I’m not saying this as an instruction manual but merely as a statement of fact about how stupid Lemmy’s behavior is with regard to deleted accounts.

They’ve had many, many alts over the last 6+ months with the same posting pattern. Not one has been marked as a bot.

Ok, I just gotta ask: what is your motive here?

You get banned every other day for spamming out a massive number of posts. And you just make a new account the next day, start the exact same thing again like…you’ve learned nothing?

I’m tired of my feed being an entire page of just you, and I’m tired of blocking you. Can you not just post things at a normal rate?

Email on your own domain: Yep, super easy.

Email from home IP or from the IPv4 you get assigned with a VPS: Super difficult

Thanks. I’ve largely been active here for development/testing purposes lately, but agreed. That’s also why I’ve put so much effort into expanding and making a very powerful/granular filtering system in this release. Right now, I can filter entire instances, entire platforms (e.g. Mastodon), people/instances/platforms in specific communities, filter users/communities by regex pattern, etc. Makes it nice to filter people out of specific communities without blocking them entirely.

Eh, I know I made a big stink about it (which I stand by lol), but technically Dubvee’s still online since I need it for developing/testing the admin and mod capabilities. It’s mothballed but still able to be brought back if I ever choose to and get some more admins on board.

Seems like it. I was planning only on maintenance, but with the huge amount of work I’ve put into the current dev branch, I can’t really call it maintenance anymore.

Yep, 100%. I’m waiting for the API to mature to the point where I can do everything the native interface can do. I really don’t want to waste my time making a second-class app.

Unfortunately, while I do have Python experience, I don’t have the spare time to contribute to the API code. At least not right now. Hopefully that changes soon.

To be fair, it began with the misstep of his senate confirmation.
